Under the law, V.A. can pay these veterans only from the date they file their applications for supplemental certificates, not from the date they enroll. In some instances, the veteran's files will show he Is not entitled to additional training.

In the case of disabled veterans, many have almost completed rehabilitation training under Public Law 16 in other states. Enrolling in this area, they attempt to change their educational objectives.

ELVIRA FANGLESNAP Cracked Correspondent Now Oasis Reporter Deer hunting season is open here in the land of push, for one month. School has just begun at Weber, with open season year round. When last we saw Miss Fanglesnap, buried under not proposals but orange hulls, her last words were, "Happy Hunting.' If the Vital Statistics run to form as they have at Weber, it probably will be. For those of you who as yet are unaware of the Fanglesnap tradition, the corruption will begin now with a brief introduction. Miss Elvira Fanglesnap, noted cracked foreign correspondent of the Weber college signpost, is temporarily residing in Winnemuc-ca, Nevada. Those in the know call it the land of push. This gem of an oasis is nestled 'neath Win-nemucca Mountains' towering peak, and the metropolis is bisected by the serenely majestic dry bed of the Humbolt river. Winnemucca is one of the most spiritual cities in the west. More spirits pass over the plank per capita than any place except Two-Bit street. Several Weberites have been doing penance after their pilgrimage to the Mint, chief dispenser of spiritual fortitude. It is only fitting and proper that a spiritually minded person like Miss Fanglesnap should reside here. In a recent statement to the press. Miss i anglesnap observed 'My night life is killing me. I'm just a stiff on the graveyard shift, 'Hasty Hearts' Scheduled For First 'Theater' Play Student Participation Urged h Weber-Ogden Dramatics "Hasty Hearts," a comedy by John Patrick, will be presented in the Weber college auditorium November 18, 19, 20, as the first of three plays to be produced by the Community Theater this year, according to John Kelly and Thatcher Allred, theater workshop advisors at Weber college. J. C. Session Plans Set, Prexy Notes Plans for the Intermountain Jun-or College Goodwill convention to be held at Weber college Oct. 28-30 are well underway, according to Jack Critchlow, student body president.Committees have been appointed to arrange for all phases of the convention, Critchlow said. The convention, which will include delegates from junior colleges throughout the intermountain region is held as a clearing house for mutual problems pertaining to student government, assemblies, a-wards, publications, and athletics, and to develop goodwill between the participating schools. This is the first time the annual convention has been held at Weber. Each participating school is scheduled to have five delegates and a faculty advisor present. One delegate will be assigned to represent the college in each problem discussion. The convention will go to work Friday following registration, a joint' meeting of all delegates, and a tour of Ogden and the Weber college campus Thursday afternoon. Problem discussions will be held in panel form for each category. Each problem for discussion has been assigned to a different school which will furnish a chairman to introduce topics and guide the discussion. Tentative assignments include: awards, Phoenix junior college, Phoenix, Arizona; athletics, Dixie college, St. George, Utah; student government, Mesa college, Grand Junction, Colorado; assemblies, Southern Idaho College of Education, Albion, Idaho, and publications, Weber college.

Final event of the convention will be a banquet for all delegates at 12 o'clock Saturday in the Weber college cafeteria. I have a squeeze play all of my own. A whole crate of oranges resulting in that brimming glass of fresh orange juice brimming, hell. The patrons are lucky if they can find it with an electron microsope when I get through pouring it." On this gracious note, the conversation veered to a recent article in the Signpost's chief competitor, the Salt Lake Tribune. This article concerned the Flaming W hike, where flaming youth elimbes to great heights. Ah, what fond thoughts stir in Fangies muddled mind. The merry jests and jolly laughter as her friends .died to push her off Mount Og den! Their gleeful shouts as she bounded down the mountain side to disappear in the darkness below. The football team seems to be doing OK for itself. What an imposing line up! 5,000 fans! Egad! In the days when that crack journalistic team of Ricks and Beach, was the spirit of the Signpost, Fangie recalls that they turned over rocks, coke bottles, and looked under other flotsam and jetsam of the rodeo for a live fan, hut like Diogens, looked in vain. That turnover game, would be a cinch, now. Itumor has it that one of the players, No. 45, wears sus penders and is quite addicted to them. Would that be called hold- ing up his end? The comedy, with an underlying tragic motif, will feature Weber college students and residents of Ogden, Mr. Kelly said. All roles are awarded on the basis of dramatic tryouts, he stated. "Little Foxes" The second play, "Little Foxes," will be played February 3, 4, and 5. "Little Foxes" is a play of the South during the reconstruction period. Bette Davis was the leading actress in the movie of the same name. The season will end May 5, 6, and 7 with the play "The Village Green," a story of New England life. Mr. Kelly will direct "Hasty Hearts" and "The Village Green" and Mr. Allred "Little Foxes."

Regular selling price for the public will be $2.50 for the season. Plans were laid for an additional night of performance for high school students at reduced prices. As a result of the planning it is expected that the students and the community will receive financial as well as entertainment benefit. The plays will be presented in the Weber college auditorium. Special Scenery Carl White, who is receiving his masters degree in stage craft at the University of Utah is designing, constructing, and painting all of the scenery for these plays. This is the first time the college has had a scenic artist on the campus.

"Box and Cox," the theater workshop street performance was played Friday and Saturday at 12 different locations from Washington Terrace to Bonneville Park and from Grant to Malan Avenue. Well Pleased "We presented 'Box and Cox' to audiences of 100 to 150 at each performance; these were composed of persons from kindergarden to grandmothers. The plays were presented in the streets and those watching brought chairs and pillows from their homes to sit on. I am happy to say that no one has walked out on any performance. We were well pleased with the appreciation we received wnen many asked us to come back again. It is expected that we will take a similar show around in the spring," Mr. Kelly stated. Besides being presented on the streets the play was put on for the Elks club of Ogden yesterday and the Weber college student body today. Cast The vagabond cast for "Box and Cox" was Mary Ann Wyatt, Don Soelberg, Jay Jensen, Thayne Harris and Carl White with the scenery.All students in the theater workshop class including the vagabond players are preparing for the next play "Nothing But the Truth," which featured Bob Hope in the movies.
